Reply #143: It's not about WHAT they're doing

The issue is not about what they're doing. In fact, I have absolutely no doubt that they are guilty of shitty backdoor politics. You know why? Because there are ALWAYS shitty backdoor politics happening.

Clearly, you THINK that me saying the DOJ needs to prove guilt instead of the COC releasing documents means that I'm on the COC's side. That's complete bullshit.

What I'm saying is that the American way of life values innocence until proven guilty. Regardless of how broken our system may be, this means that everyone has a fighting chance if they are accused without basis. If there is proof, then documents can be obtained legally. This is not the fucking 1950's anymore. So REGARDLESS of what side you're on, you fight against McCarthyism because some day you might need that same promise of innocent until proven guilty. There is no "unless..." clause. You apply the same rules to everyone.
